"What are you talking about? It looks so happy." Green picked up the rag and started to wipe the counter, walked to Hugo and the other two, and asked with a smile.

"I'm finally free to take care of other guests?" Hugo did not answer, but looked at the beauty sitting on the other end of the bar with a smile, "You can't have taken that long just one phone number, right?" At least a quarter of an hour had passed since this time. Green was having a great conversation with the beauty there, and it seemed that it should be quite progress.

"Looking at your impatient appearance, you can tell that you are a novice at first glance. Gentleman should not be abrupt, let the lady feel respect, especially the lady who has just grown up." Green had a meaningful smile on his face. Hugo and Neil understood immediately, but Pedro sat next to him with questions, obviously not in the conversation. "She gave me the phone number on his own initiative, and I invited her to have dinner tomorrow."

"Ahhh! This is the purpose of the gentleman, dinner on the first date? This progress is really 'slow'..." Hugo deliberately emphasized the last adjective, which made both Green and Neal laugh.

Pedro, who was still out of the situation, asked inexplicably, "What are you talking about? Who are Green going to have dinner with?" He didn't even see the beauty sitting on the other end of the bar, and he didn't know who the person Hugo and the others were talking to. This question made the three of them laugh.

"It's not you anyway." Green said to Pedro, which made the child mutter with dissatisfaction, "Don't treat me as a child! I'm already legally drinking!" This made Hugo unable to hold back and laughed out loud, but he noticed Pedro's complaints and quickly apologized, "I didn't mean it, I was just in a happy mood because I thought about the band."

"Yes, the band's business." Neil had no choice but to do anything next to him. Hugo's way of changing the topic was too bad.

But unexpectedly, Pedro actually bought it, "Yes, we were talking about the band just now." As a result, Hugo gave Neil a proud look, which made Neil roll his eyes directly.

"Oh, band! You're going to form a band." Green also changed the subject and said excitedly, "Who are there?" Green almost knew the regulars of Al Bar, so he was very involved in the topic of rock.

"It's just the three of us." Neil pointed to the three people present.

"Including Hugo?" Green seemed a little surprised. "What about your movie, I'm still looking forward to your new work!" Green's eagerness reminded Hugo. When he met for the first time, Green mentioned that he liked his movies very much. Now it seems to be true. "Are you discouraged by those damn reports?"

"Green, your attitude will make me think that you think it's a bad idea for me to join a band." Hugo said with a smile without rushing.

"No, of course not." Green shook his head repeatedly, he was stunned. He recalled the last rock night when he saw Hugo's excellent guitar skills, and then laughed, "No, I just... I just look forward to you having more excellent movies. You know, I think your performance on the big screen is really outstanding."

"Well, thank you." Hugo smiled and accepted Green's praise, raised his beer glass and nodded, then took a big sip of gratitude, "Don't worry, those bad things won't affect me, I'm actively looking for the next work. But I think, since I have time, why not execute my musical dream? Maybe that's a good idea too."

Green looked at Pedro and then at Neil. These are young people he had heard of. Knowing their strength, he had no idea just now. Now that he thought about it carefully, his interest couldn't help but rise. "This is such a great decision! You guys form a band? God, I've already started looking forward to your music."

Although a group of powerful young people gathered together does not mean that they can make good music. Even if they can make good music, it does not mean that they can make a world in the underground rock music circle with strong hands; but Green looked at the three young people in front of him, their ability is the talent of the band. As long as they can find the soul suitable for the band and carry it forward, the music of this band is worth looking forward to!

"What's your band's name?" Green couldn't wait to ask.

Hugo turned around and looked around. Pedro and Neil looked confused. Neil said, "We have just decided to form a band for five minutes, and the name is not in a hurry at all."

"Yes..." Green also reacted, "And the three-person band is far from enough, you need to add members."

"Yes, it can only be considered the prototype of the band now." Pedro said excitedly, "This is a good start after all, isn't it?"

Although after entering the 21st century, a band basically only needs four people to form, generally speaking, as long as there are bass, drums, keyboards, and guitars can become bands. Many traditional heavy metal bands disdain for keyboards and believe that keyboards are blasphemy to rock music, so the band may be more concise; however, most bands will be equipped with five members, one bass, drums, and one keyboard each, and the rhythm guitar and melody guitar are also divided into division of labor. In terms of specific responsibilities, sometimes guitarists will take into account keyboard players, or lead singers and guitarists, and there are various composition plans.

No matter what, three people and a band are incomplete, and no one is in the position of keyboards and drums in the band for the time being, so members must be required to piece together the band.

"Of course. I didn't think I could complete the band in one day." Hugo's face was also filled with a smile. It was already a surprise to be able to reach a consensus with Neil and Pedro today. "If we find another practice venue, our band will take the first step, right?"

Although the band members are not complete now, having a fixed practice venue is obviously a symbol of determining things, and the whole person's enthusiasm will be completely renewed. Neil and Pedro also nodded repeatedly, but unfortunately, none of them are natives in Los Angeles. Neil is a Swedish and Pedro is a Brazilian. There is no way to start his band career using the garage at home like many locals.

"If you can't find a practice venue, there will be a behind you." Green pointed to the area behind the bar. "There is a row of old warehouses behind you. I usually open some bands as a practice venue. If you need it, you can make an appointment in advance."

"Really?" Hugo seemed very surprised, but it was not surprising to think about it carefully. Green is a rich man, and Al Bar is his industry, so it is not surprising that it is also his industry.

"Is the rent expensive?" Neil was still calm and did not see the smiles on Pedro and Hugo's faces, so he asked.

"One hundred dollars a month, the electricity bill is self-paid." Green said easily. The rent is basically no charge. It can be seen that his support for underground rock music is indeed from the bottom of his heart.

Hugo did not consider rent at first. Although he is not a rich man now, he still has money to rent a house, but then he understood Neil's intention. They were friends they just met, because of their musical hobbies, but underground bands often find it difficult to have a fixed income, so the cost of the band maintaining becomes very difficult. If they have always relied on Hugo, then there are only two results. One is that the band becomes Hugo's own band, and then they lose the meaning of friends gathering together to make their favorite music; otherwise, Hugo is overwhelmed, and after leaving the band, the band will disperse. Therefore, brothers settle accounts clearly and handle the money relationship clearly, so that the band can be pure.

So, Hugo didn't stop Neil's words, and even smiled at him to express his affirmation, and then he heard Pedro's anxious voice, "When can we go over and see?"

"Uh, if you want, you can do it now." Green turned around and took a bunch of keys from the wine cabinet, threw them on the bar. Pedro picked up the keys and ran out directly. Green smiled at Hugo and Neal and explained, "Those warehouses are almost the same. You can tell if you go in and take a look."

Hugo and Neil nodded, then followed him out, walked out of Al Bar, walked along the alley next to him to the back, and indeed saw a row of warehouses, but at this time they were all dark and there was no light. Only Pedro was standing at the door of the first warehouse, and turned around in surprise and asked, "Which room can be rented?"

"Let you run so fast again." Hugo laughed, "Green said that any room is OK, and the layout inside is almost the same."

Pedro ran to the first warehouse at hand, opened it and walked in. After the warehouse lights were on, the darkness retreated like a tide. An empty warehouse appeared in front of him. About 700 square feet (65 square meters) of the warehouse was not big. On the left was a huge barbed wire, with layers of wood piled up inside. I don’t know what it was for. About half of the remaining space was empty, with a large pile of long-line inserts piled up next to it. Some waste paper was sprinkled on the ground. The space was not large, but it was enough for the band.

"How is it?" Pedro stood in the middle and wandered around, his voice spreading in the warehouse, but he didn't know how effective the sound insulation effect was on next door. However, since Green was willing to use it as a practice room, even if the sound insulation effect was not top-notch, it should still be OK.

Hugo and Neil looked at each other, then smiled together.

Hugo shrugged, "Then, that's it." Then he stretched out his right hand and placed it in the air. Neil glanced at Hugo, then folded his right hand on Hugo's hand. Pedro trotted all the way and finally put his right hand on. Hugo said, "It seems that our band has taken the first step, and this is a good start!"

"Oh!" The three of them raised their hands to the sky together, and their dreams started here.
Chapter completed!
